Question

1. Read the following passage carefully: [10]
1. Caged behind thick glass, the most famous dancer in the world can easily be missed in the National Museum, Delhi. The Dancing Girl of Mohenjodaro is that rare artefact that even school children are familiar with. Our school textbooks also communicate the wealth of our 5000 year heritage of art. You have to be alert to her existence there, amid terracotta animals to rediscover this bronze image.
2. Most of us have seen her only in photographs or sketches, therefore the impact of actually holding her is magnified a million times over. One discovers that the dancing girl has no feet. She is small, a little over 10 cm tall-the length of a human palm - but she surprises us with the power of great art-the ability to communicate across centuries.
3. A series of bangles-of shell or ivory or thin metal – clothe her left upper arm all the way down to her fingers. A necklace with three pendants bunched together and a few bangles above the elbow and wrist on the right hand display an almost modern art.
4. She speaks of the undaunted ever, hopeful human spirit. She reminds us that it is important to visit museums in our country to experience the impact that a work of art leaves on our senses, to find among all the riches one particular vision of beauty that speaks to us alone.
5. John Marshall, the archaeologist at Mohenjo-daro, who found the figure, described the figure as “a young girl, her hand on her hip in a half impudent posture, and legs slightly forward as she beats time to the music with her legs and feet”. He is known to have reacted with surprise when he saw the statues. He said “when I first saw them I found it difficult to believe that they were prehistoric.” The archaeologist Gregory Possehl described Dancing Girl as “the most Captivating piece of art from an Indus site” and qualified the description of her as a dancer by stating that, “We may not be certain that she was a dancer, but she was good at what she did and she knew it.”
